Which one of the following is NOT true of socialism ?

Socialism is a political ideology that emphasizes the centrality of community and the just distribution of resources [3]. It analyzes society in terms of income distribution and seeks to minimize economic inequalities [2]. A core tenet, often attributed to Karl Marx and Louis Blanc, is that material benefits should be distributed according to the principle 'from each according to his ability, to each according to his need'. While socialists recognize that class divisions exist within capitalist societies, they do not view them as 'irremediable.' On the contrary, socialist theory, particularly Marxian theory, posits that class divisions are a feature of capitalism rather than an inherent aspect of human society. Socialists believe these divisions can and should be overcome through social transformation, collective ownership, or democratic reforms to achieve social justice. Therefore, the claim that class divisions are irremediable is false.
